Glad to see Mobil kept their looks out of all them years. 

Looks like a Polaroids my daddy would take.  I still had had mine taken against my dad's new 79 Camero z28 with a spoiler.  I was only the size of the tire.

The 22R/RE engine was/is legendary and way ahead of its' time. Weather it be my 80's Celica or my pick-up truck, that engine was bullet proof... O0:

^^^I once had a 86 Toyota pickup with the 22RE engine.  Love the truck but it was getting rusty.  I’m actually in the market for a Tacoma Off-Road.  Will post up pix if I do get one.
